Puffins Take My Breath Away

My first ever real shot at photographing these small, comical and completely adorable birds. They nest on cliff edges among sea pinks (or thrift) in burrows they make using their large bills and feet. I hope you enjoy the slideshow.

A Star In The Making

Just when I thought my evening of unsuccessfully looking for a reasonable (if perfection failed) image had ended, I arrived home to find this gorgeous ginger delight in the avenue. When they're friendly they come towards you when you go low to take a shot so I had quite a few blurries from that position. I imagine he was sick of me pointing the camera at him as he finally sat down and just looked and listened to all that was going on in each direction. An opportunity I didn't miss. Here's a few of the shots I took. Some natural, some with filters.

4 Stars or 5 Stars?.....Now let me see.....

This is a review by me for a product I purchased on Amazon. A very essential LCD monitor cover. 
"Just so you know how big a camera toting numpty I am I shall relate my experience with this product. After opening carefully and (partly) reading the instructions I proceeded to take No. 1 tab off as instructed. "Oh, I know how to do it from here," I said to myself. I attached the uncovered sticky side to the camera monitor with only the tiniest amount of bubbles showing where it didn't matter. I proceeded to remove tab No. 2 but couldn't get it off. I picked away at it but it left a sticky papery residue that I couldn't get off. Taking a cloth I put a tiny amount of furniture polish on it and began to rub off the glue taking care not to get any polish on the camera. Yayyy!!! It worked!! I was very proud of myself. Two days later I read of someone else's experience which was similar. I looked at the monitor only to realise that I not only had the guard on but also the final third part which tab No. 2 was supposed to have removed if done correctly. I picked at the corner of the monitor cover and, sure enough, the final and third part of the clear view LCD cover came neatly away. So you see, I have given 5 stars as the product is really ace. Love my Fuji X-T1."
I was only going to give 4 stars because of all the hassle I had. 😂

Stay Focused On Your Goal

My goal is to try and be more creative in photography. It doesn't come naturally to me but I look forward to the process. The photo here is of a morning sunset taken from my garden. I thought it might have some potential to be something it wasn't so added the people and moon composites, the rest was natural. Your goal may not be to reach the moon but there's no reason for not doing something way out of your box or comfort zone. You won't know what you can do until you stop paddling in the shallows.
